10 Wrestling Promos That Were Inadvertently Infamous

10. The Forgotten 'Pipe Bomb'

The Chicago firebrand never labelled his legendary Las Vegas promo - he didn't need to. The wrestling community was shook to the core almost immediately following his momentous monologue, with the wider world even tiptoeing towards Sports Entertainment for the first time in a generation. Money In The Bank 2011 was a watershed moment if interviews with GQ and the curious glances of the mainstream media were to be believed. CM Punk did indeed drop a pipe bomb that night - WWE diffusing it within weeks remains one of their most heartbreaking blunders.

Punk looked every bit a man with the weight of those expectations still upon his shoulders as he incinerated WWE yet again shortly before the end of his iconic title reign in 2013, but the sadness in his eyes rivalled any dog picture Kay Burley felt fit to tweet.

Though still 12 months away from his unvarnished departure, he verbally flails as if given the same freedom he was years earlier. Tyson Kidd gets a shout out, the fans are barely castigated by the heel compared to the company, whilst Royal Rumble opponent The Rock was only thrown into the verbiage for 'The Great One' himself to come and deliver a show-selling retort.

"YOU DO NOT GET TO WIN", yelled Punk to the audience. He may as well have been screaming into a mirror.
